Bereavement Gifts – Easy Care Bonsai Memorial Gift with Watering Can
A Bereavement Gift That Offers Quiet Comfort
When someone is grieving, choosing the right gift can feel overwhelming. Words often fall short, and flowers, although beautiful, fade too quickly. Instead, this bereavement gift offers something lasting. It provides a living tree that grows gently over time and becomes a quiet source of comfort within the home.
A Mature Chinese Elm with Presence and Meaning
At the heart of this memorial gift sits a 12-year-old Chinese Elm bonsai, Ulmus parvifolia. We carefully shape each tree to highlight its graceful, twisty trunk and balanced canopy. The natural bends and movement reflect resilience and strength, while the rich green serrated leaves soften the overall presence and bring calm to any room.
Many people find comfort in planting a tree in memory of someone they love. This bonsai allows you to honour that tradition indoors, where it can be seen daily and cared for gently over time.
The Chinese Elm symbolises inner strength, intuition, wisdom, and enduring love. Therefore, it makes a deeply fitting memorial gift that feels sincere without being overwhelming.
A Comprehensive and Reassuring Gift Set
We prepare this memorial bonsai as a complete and supportive gift. It arrives with:
A ceramic pot and dark coloured drip tray to protect surfaces
Bonsai pruning scissors for gentle shaping
Bonsai fertiliser to encourage healthy growth
- Premium quality watering can – choose the colour!
A detailed Bonsai Direct care book & printed care sheet
An “In Loving Memory” wooden hanging tag
Because everything is included, even complete beginners can feel confident caring for the tree from the moment it arrives.
A Living Tribute That Grows Over Time
Place the bonsai in a bright position with indirect light. Water when the soil surface begins to dry, and apply bonsai fertiliser weekly to encourage healthy growth and foliage. Over time, caring for the tree can become a steady, grounding routine. As a result, the bonsai becomes more than a gift — it becomes a living tribute that quietly honours cherished memories.
Thoughtful Delivery When Timing Matters
We understand how important timing can be with bereavement gifts. Therefore, we offer free next working day delivery to most UK addresses, along with the option to choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. You can also include a personalised gift message to share your condolences in your own words.
Please Note – Natural Variation
Please note: Each bonsai is individually grown and shaped, so the exact form, branching, and character of your tree may vary slightly from the images shown.
A calm and meaningful memorial gift, this Chinese Elm bonsai offers dignity, comfort, and a lasting expression of remembrance.
